Superman: Is this the TRUTH behind Henry Cavill 'quit' reports? Is he leaving or not?

It was claimed that money was at the centre of the furore, and that a cameo in the upcoming Shazam! movie fell through.

However, Cavill took to Instagram yesterday with a cryptic video of himself enjoying holding a Superman action figure, kickstarting talk that he hadn’t parted ways with the studio after all.

Today, TMZ claim to have heard from sources that no discussions whatsoever - positive or negative - have taken place about Cavill’s future in the part, because there are currently no movies involving him in the pipeline.

The US gossip site alleges that “it’s true” Cavill feels he has been underpaid for his recent work, and that others reckon his performances haven’t been as good as they should have been.

But as for long-term decisions on his future, they will seemingly not take place until concrete plans for a new movie involving Superman are in place.

The actor’s agent Dany Garcia tweeted in the wake of THR’s initial report: “Be peaceful, the cape is still in his closet.

“@wbpictures has been and continues to be our partners as they evolve the DC Universe. Anticipate a WB statement later today.”

Warner Bros then released this statement: “While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we’ve always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged.”

Following the disappointing performance at the box office and with critics of 2017’s Justice League, it remains to be seen what the studio’s plans for the hero’s future are.

For now, focus is on the upcoming Aquaman solo movie, as well as Shazam! and the Wonder Woman sequel.

The Flash movie is also thought to be heading into production early next year, although Ray Fisher recently said he doesn’t know if a Cyborg movie is still in the works.

As for Batman, Ben Affleck’s future in the part continues to be unclear - he has dropped out of directing the film, and rumours that he will step down from acting as well have been persistent for some time now.

The script for the film, however - titled simply The Batman - is said to be ‘done’.

2001, and now released to the 3DS in what could be the death throes of the hardware. It's a niche cult game that is representative of its time and I recommend playing it on the GameCube or Wii, but not necessarily on the 3DS.</p><p>The narrative of the game is merely the MacGuffin to allow for the ghostbusting gameplay. Luigi has won a mansion in a contest he doesn't remember entering and Mario is missing again.</p><p>Luigi is equipped with a modded vacuum cleaner and flashlight. You flash the ghosts to startle them and use the vacuum to suck them up, similar to how you catch fish in a fishing game.</p><p>This is the core gameplay element with superb controls making the feeling of a battle between two opposing forces a satisfactory experience even if you lose. It never feels cheap if you don&rsquo;t capture a ghost.</p><p>The Mansion itself is a collection of self-contained puzzle rooms, expertly crafted by Nintendo. They have flavour and originality coming through that is creepy but consistently child-friendly. There are three types of ghosts that each fulfil a different gameplay mechanic.</p><p>This is not a horror game, and there are no jump scares, nor is this Nintendo&rsquo;s interpretation of Silent Hill. It&rsquo;s Nintendo&rsquo;s Ghostbusters.</p><p>It&rsquo;s a linear experience in exploring the mansion and beating the game. There is a set path that rooms are unlocked and if you know what you are doing you can beat it in about four hours.</p><p>As a Gamecube launch title, the game relies on the spectacle of the hardware to promote the player to explore the world and try new things. Tasks and objectives are discovered via trial and error.</p><p>At the start of the game if you don&rsquo;t know that you need to blow out some candles you will be banging on doors. We forget now but the spectacle of blowing out candles with a Hoover was flabbergasting for the time.</p><p>However,&nbsp; there are some nice little upgrades on this 3DS version.&nbsp;The second screen is&nbsp;utilised&nbsp;perfectly for the addition of the map which comes in very handy when navigating around the mansion.</p><p>Thankfully for an&nbsp;amiibo&nbsp;collector like&nbsp;myself,&nbsp;there's also support for Mario, Luigi, Toad and Boo figures.</p><p>In recent years we have seen a plethora of remasters, remixes and HD updates of past generation games. Luigi&rsquo;s Mansion is a simple port with little changes to the core gameplay and&nbsp;aesthetics.</p><p>It&rsquo;s a game of experimentation from 17 years ago, so when we judge it now, stale ideas linger. It was not made to be a great 3DS game, it was made to show off the potential of the GameCube.</p><p>Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon released over five years ago for the Nintendo 3DS and is the superior game as it was designed and developed for the platform.</p><p>

unning lawsuit filed by a former neighbor whose house the pop singer egged.</p><p>A document filed Friday shows the case has been resolved in its entirety. No details were given about the terms.</p><p>Jeffrey and Suzanne Schwartz filed a lawsuit in early 2015 that alleged they suffered emotional harm because of the egging and other actions by Bieber when he lived next door.</p><p>The 24-year-old pop singer has already served probation in a criminal plea deal after the 2013 incident, and paid $80,000 in restitution for the damage he caused.</p><p>The lawsuit alleged Bieber spit in Jeffrey Schwartz's face and terrorized the family with loud parties, drug use and aggressive driving while living in a gated community in the celebrity enclave of Calabasas. It sought more than $25,000 in damages for assault and battery, trespassing and infliction of emotional distress claims.</p><p>Bieber's attorneys argued that the restitution he already paid and the punishment he was given were sufficient, and that he did not rightly owe more for emotional damages.</p><p>Messages left for attorneys from both sides were not immediately returned.</p><p>During an August hearing, Judge Elaine W. Mandel, who had taken over the case after three years, expressed skepticism at the plaintiffs' claims. She grilled the Schwartz's attorney Brian J. Kim to explain what damages Bieber caused the plaintiffs, calling them "minimal."</p><p>She also did not appear inclined to admit much of the evidence the plaintiffs want to introduce at trial, including dozens of media stories about Bieber's misbehavior.</p>
